Thursday 13: 13 accomplishments since gastric bypass surgery
1. Losing 79.8 lbs. (I’ve lost 124.2 lbs altogether!)
2. Having “chairage”, as I call it, on either side of my hips and thighs when I sit down. By chairage, I mean actual chair space, as opposed to being “wall to wall” between the arms or sides of a chair.
3. Going from a size 28 in pants to a size 16, which is now getting loose!
4. Being able to squeeze into a 14. That’s a Target 14, mind you, which is smaller than the “standard” 14 at plus size stores.
5. Not having hips so wide that they knock the seatbelt buckle cover off of the seatbelt bucker in my car. No lie — Dan had to glue it back on twice. 
6. Have I mentioned the whole size 16 thing? Yeah, it’s pretty damn awesome.
7. Going from a 46DDD to a 40D/DD.
8. Size XL tops? Yes, I have a few of them that fit quite comfortably!
9. Wearing a size 10 in certain pairs of shoes.
10. Having more energy to hop around.
11. RUNNING after my husband in a field the other night, AND running fast enough that he had to work harder at staying ahead!!!
12. After the RUNNING, not feeling like I was going to pass out from the exertion/lack of oxygen.
13. Better sex. ♥
My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design. Kitty.nu has been around for several years. Once upon a time it was home to my personal blog (you can find that over at 
Love this list, congrats on your weight loss!
